Superbad (2007)

This Movie Is About two high school best friends, Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera). They're a week from graduation and this is the last chance for them to get with the girls of their dreams, and do something together because they will be going to separate colleges next year. Seth gets invited to a party hosted by the school hottie, Jules (Emma Stone). Seth remembers his other friend, Fogell, who said that he will be getting a fake ID. So Seth, trying to impress Jules, volunteers to bring the booze. Jules gives him the money and a little extra for motivation. Evan, on the other hand, is interested in Becca (Martha MacIssac) who will be also attending this party. Evan goes the extra mile and offers to buy her a bottle of Vodka. The two friends meet with Fogell after school only to discover that he has changed his name to McLovin on his fake ID. But with no other option left, and Seth with 100 dollars of Jules's money along with all the expectation, the two friends along with Mclovin go on an hilarious adventure to get the booze while at the same time learning much more about each other than they had ever thought.

You Should Watch This Movie because it's too funny not to. And come on! What more convincing do you need? It's done by the guys who did Knocked Up, and I know you liked that movie cause I'm sure you all read my awesome review and went out and watched it the next day. Okay, maybe not, but I know you liked it if you've seen it. Well, this movie does not disappoint. And for some of you know think that this is just an American Pie rip off, well you're partially right. But if you think that this film is left wanting compared to American Pie, you are very much mistaken.

What's Hot is Mclovin! It is fair to say that he's just the comic side-kick in this film, but at the same time, his story line is so well thought out along with the two police officers that he's with, it really pushes this film from a dual protagonists story to a ensemble cast. All three story lines are very well balanced out, and although McLovin doesn't have the arc as Evan and Seth, his story sprinkled in between Seth and Evan's adventure works nicely and it's incorporated brilliantly at the climax. And yeah well, he's fucking hilarious. And it's a slightly different type of comedy when compared to Seth and Evan's adventure which works as a nice contrast.

What's Not Hot is Jonah Hill quickly becoming a type-cast character. In Accepted he played the typical cynical character and in Knocked Up he was the same person but just more attitude. Well, he's back again in this movie as, you guessed it, the same cynical maniac.Bbut this time he's brought a whole arsenal of cusses and rants. It seems that all he does is scream and swear. It's fine because it was funny but I just don't want to see a talent like him be so fixed on a single role. I know it's still early in his career but I hope he takes on some more diverse characters in the future.
